How To Measure for Blinds

These measuring instructions apply to all types of blinds.

• For accurate measurements always use a metal tape measure.
• Take measurements in millimetres.
• Choose whether you want your blind to fit inside the recess of your window or hang outside the recess overlapping the window.
• Always specify the width first, followed by the drop.

Blinds hanging inside the window recess

• Measure the width of the window recess in three places as shown below.
• Measure the drop by taking the measurement from the top of the recess to the window sill in three places, as shown below.
• Use the smallest measurement.
• We will make all adjustments to ensure your blind fits perfectly.

• Measure the exact area you would like the blind to cover as shown below.
• To minimise light leakage we recommend the blind overlaps by at least 50mm each side.
